I have no problem separating the man from the organisation. An organisation that publishes in the manner that WIkileaks does is neutral by default. They don't publish opinion pieces, merely cables. Perhaps the author of the piece should reflect inwards if he cannot separate Assange from Wikileaks.

- rorykoehler 11y agoWikileaks have a track record of releasing cables from a variety of countries throughout the world without selection biases (this is the manner I was referring to). Some of those countries would consider each other as enemies. When you release cables in the numbers that Wikileaks do (millions) it is very hard to skew the selection process. Wikileaks led a revolution in journalism that has yet to be rivalled and Assange paid a high personal price for it. Any criticism of the man or organisation pales in significance to what they have achieved. Journalism was dead as a non-propaganda means of obtaining quality information until Wikileaks came along.
